While usually consumed as a food, natural honey is used as an emollient, moisturizer, and nutrient for the skin. Its extract (Mel extract) composition is rich in sugars (glucose and fructose, representing nearly 90% of saccharides), organic acids, small amounts of nitrogenous materials, and vitamins in the B group. In addition, recent scientific evidence indicates that honey is also a potent would healer—an excellent antibacterial agent and humectant (contains glucose and fructose with powerful moisture-holding properties).
Mel extract is used in treatment preparations such as anti-aging, protective, moisturizing, anti-wrinkle, sun products, regenerating and cell repair products, face and body treatment lotions, active face lotions, and masks for aged or damaged skin.
